Where He is Met by an Enthusiastic
Crowd Of Admirers, Who Bear
Him to His Carriage.
He Still Suffers From His Recent In
tiuries, and Has an Extremely
Heavy Cold,
But He Insists on Going to Hamilton,
Although His Friends Urge Him
Not to Do It,
And Make an Unavailing Request to be
Allowed to Form for Him
Strong Body Guard.

that William O'Brien could now find
rest and quiet in any place would be to
think something next to impossible. He
came here hoping to be out of the way.
Although his train did not arrive until
2 O'Clock this morning, a crowd had col
lected to greet him, and William
O'Brien, with sleep in his eyes and
staggering from weakness, arose from
his bed and was taken possession of by
several hundred persons, some of whom
carried him to his carriage. He was
driven to the International hotel. To
day delegation from Rochester, n. Y,
headed by DR.. j. w. Casey. president
of the National league, called upon Mr..
O'Brien. From Buffalo there came
Father Patrick Cronin, editor of the
Catholic Union and Times, and James
Mooney, eX-president of the Irish Ma
tional league of America. Many visit
headed by several well-knOwn citizens
and clergymen, called on Mr.. O'Brien,
who remained in his room all day.
HIS CONDITION SERIOUS.
The doctors say that the cartilegeS of
Mr.. O'Brien'S right hand and ribs are
partially detached. There is also an
indentation in the cartileges themselves.
Inflammation of the base of the lungs is
the result, and besides O'Brien is suf-
fering from severe cold. John O'Don-
nell, representing the Irishmen of Phila-
delphia, called specially to inquire from
O'Brien whether he could not arrange
to attend meeting there. Mr.. O'Brien
could not make up his mind, but he said
that he was afraid that he would be un-
able to go. as his condition was so seri-
Gus that the doctor told him he would be
probably laid Up for three weeks.
He had determined to go to
Hamilton tomorrow. A meeting
will be held in the afternoon.
He would postpone it until Tuesday,
only that day is the queens birthday
and a meeting on that day, he said,
would give the Orangemen an excuse to
riot. Tenant Kilbride and the corre-
spondents were to-day invited by the
Very Rev. p. Kavanagh, president of
the college and seminary of Our Lady,
miles from the hotel. There they were
received by the college faculty and
shown over the grounds, and the college
band played Garry Owen" The Star
Spangled Banner" Marching Through
Georgia. and "O'Donnell Aboo," and
cheered for Mr.. O'Brien, Tenant Kill
bride and the representatives of the
American newspapers. Father Kava-
nagh stood up ON the balcony of the col
lege and
DELIVERED AN ADDRESS
| to the students and SeminariStS, who had
gathered in full-force on the lawn be-
meath. After a speech by Denis Kill
bride, the party were entertained at
| dinner by Father Kavanagh and the col
| lege faculty. On returning to the hotel
Mr. O'Rrien said tn tha cOrreSnOOdentc
| that although he was greatly exhausted
| breath, he was determined upon going
| to Hamilton tomorrow. His friends
| are alarmed at this resolve, not because
of their fear of another attack, though
such an attack is considered exceedingly
| probable, but because the mere journey
itself, and the effort of making another
| speech are likely to overpower
him and imperil, his life, as the
policemen in the different towns
| where the editor of United
Ireland has been stoned have so far
failed to protect him, and as it is be-
lieved that a similar condition of things
will prevail in Hamilton, it is said by
some of his enthusiastic friends here
that strong body guard of stalwart
men will be organized in Buffalo and
will accompany him. Mr.. O'Brien,
however, does not approve of it, as he
for such step. His friends have a
positive opinion to the contrary, but
they will do nothing without his sane
| ton. He goes from Hamilton to Mon
treal, where an open air meeting will
be held and torchlight procession Or
| ganized to escort him through the prin-
| ciDal streets of the city.
